Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

The period under review covers the period from 1[st] January 2024 to 31[st] December 2024 our seventh full calendar year of operation. This is our seventh Trustees Annual Report, following on from The Maidstone Cycle Campaign Forum (MCCF) becoming registered as a CIO on the 24[th] April 2017.

2024 was the second full year after the Covid-19 Pandemic and restrictions.

As with a lot of charities, we have noticed than in the post covid world, attracting volunteers has become more difficult. Also with the demand on funders we were unable to finance a further Maidstone CycleFest.

Maidstone Bridges Gyratory Campaign, MCCF has serious concerns on the safety of the current arrangements and provision for cyclists around this critical junction and road system in the centre of Maidstone. We have been campaigning and also working with Maidstone Borough Council and Kent County Council to look into improvements. As this is being written only limited progress has been made and our campaign continues.

Medway Towpath Blockages – we have campaigned and raised the issue of blockages along the towpath at East Farleigh (which has been solved) and at Aylesford where the towpath has collapsed due to the February 2020 rain. Kent County Council have delayed the works indefinitely, which is a major scandal.

The Forum remains an active partner in the MERLIN (Medway Ecological Riverine Link), which aims to create an open space for cycling and walking from Allington Lock to Barming Bridge. A number of our members remain heavily involved with the project which in 2024 has been focusing on getting Village Green status for land adjacent to London Road by the railway bridge.

EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities
(SoFA) when:
• the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
• the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the
resources; and
• the monetary value can be measured with sufficient
reliability.
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with
fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and
related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the
charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the
SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
This is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or
services have been delivered.
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of
their value to the charity or the amount actually realised.
Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the
accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity.
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as
incoming resources when receivable.
These are only included in incoming resources (with an
equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit
to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and
material_._The value placed on these resources is the
estimated value to the charity of the service or facility
received.
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the
accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market
value at the end of the year.
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or
constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out
resources.
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory
accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal
advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment
being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such
grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of
the grant has provided the specified service or output.
These are only recognised in the accounts when a
commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be
met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the
charity.
Support costs include central functions and have been
allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with
the use of resources, eg allocating property costs by floor
areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other
costs by their usage.
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one
year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or a
reasonable value on receipt.
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are
valued at market value at the year end. Other investment
assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.
These are valued at the lower of cost or market value.
